    Big Trouble in Little China is absolutely fantastic. So fantastic that when deciding on a new signature theme for EoFF the other week I was this close to choosing Jack Burton and the pork-chop express.

    Escape from New York is a great Kurt Russell film too. I found out the other day that the wireframe computer thing they had wasn't computer generated at all, the just had a cardboard model and glued glow-in-the-dark strips around the edges. How awesome is that?

    I think my favorite "cult movies" are all the popular cult movies so that they're almost not cult movies anymore, or at least it's surprising to think of them as such.

    That or wikipedia lies to me when I look them up.

    No, believe it or not people can have opinions that differ from yours. That's why most people actually enjoy more than one or two movies per year. Because they don't hate everything.

    I love Office Space, but my cult obsessions are more television shows than anything, like Arrested Development, Mystery Science Theater 3000 and 30 Rock as examples.

    Office Space or The Only Good Thing Jennifer Aniston Did With Her Life.

    I'm really upset that Arrested Development became popular after it was canceled, cuz it would've been pretty cool had it gotten past it's third season while I was still watching it.

    A Clockwork Orange is a wonderful movie, as is the book, and both are even better when blasted out of your mind on drugs.

    Donnie Darko and The Rocky Horror Picture Show are also both orgasmic.

    All the Evil Dead movies are awesometastic.

    Clerks is a cult movie... right?

    Big trouble in little china makes me

    Verses is a Japanese cult film that rocks.

    Someone else said Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, I didn't know that was a cult movie, but that movie rocked!
    Oh, did I mention I'm awesome?

    Most of the "cult movies" listed in this thread never did much for me. I enjoyed <i>Office Space</i> immensely, but because everyone I knew watched it when it came out on video I never really considered it a cult movie. It was more of a "I'm going to call it a cult movie because I can pretend that I'm not letting corporate America decide what movies I should like" type of movie.

    I really loved Donnie Darko. Makes me want a scary bunny suit. I heard they were making a direct-to-video sequel about his sister or something. That makes me frazzled!

    I agree.

    I also love The Shawshank Redemption.

    No, I meant the part about it not having enough fans to be considered a cult following? That movie has an assload of devotees.

    I wonder what I did to make you be such an ass to me.

    I dunno how some of you are defining cult movies. Shawshank Redemption is most certainly not a cult film.

    Off the top of my head, Serenity is a cult film that I enjoyed muchly.

    <i>Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure</i> is one of my favorite movies, period. And I think it qualifies as a cult movie. Wiki refers to it as a "cult classic."

    I didn't think it was possible that you could take that meaning from my post, since that's not what it says unless you stop reading mid-sentence.


    I don't know if this counts as a cult movie because I don't think it actually has enough fans to form a cult, but Fellini Satyricon is one of my favourite movies ever. :P
